The surgeon noticed that her neck is now very tender to the touch, and it has grown some since the last time he saw her. I had explained the ER visit with Phoebe and how bad of shape she was in, and he determined that it would be in her best interest to do a biopsy and surgical removal of the nodes sooner rather than later. (There are three lymph nodes that are equally large and cause for concern)
Surgery is scheduled for June 5 at 11 am
